Te Pahi
The bus, The place. For me the place.The place i was born, the place i grew up. The place i watched my mother cook wonderful meals. The place my father gardened and grew wonderful food for mum to cook. The place we ran, chased played and had the freedom to be kids.The place we caught eels in the creek. The place mum patched us up, cleaned us, fed us and looked after us.
To have a dream and then walk the steps to create it is a wonderful thing. My dream has been to have a place called Te Pahi. A place where i can grow and cook and share wonderful food with people. The place where i can show people that to eat well is a simple thing, that it does not have to take hours or cost a fortune. The dream is alive… The dream is here. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have found then, created something i truly love doing.

Welcome to the Cuisine Concepts
cooking classes
My Tauranga cooking classes have a strong focus, on wood fired, out door cookery, especially in the warmer summer months. A purpose built wood fired oven was commissioned at the end of 2014 and has now had quite a few fires under its belt.
Another feature of Te Pahi classes is the seasonal focus on ingredients and creating classes around whats in the extensive Te Pahi gardens and Orchards.
Also don’t be shy to get in contact if you would like a class at a venue of your choice.
